GUYS. IT HAPPENED AND IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES I HAVE EVER WATCHED.
Reaction videos are one of the great wonders of the internets and this was just the most perfect things to watch after the Super Bowl. So much awesomeness from the Patriots fans and of course, so much pure sadness from the Seahawks fans.

But that was the past and now, we are less than two days away from ANOTHER Patriots appearance in the Super Bowl. W00t.

The New England Patriots vs. The Seattle Seahawks
Final Score: Patriots over Seahawks 27-21 (Ryan thinks it'll be a much higher scoring game and that it might even go into overtime, which would be awesome except I have to go to work on Monday).
